How to keep kids out of the grow room ( i need help)

I have a 3 year old autistic child who gets into every thing. We have recently decided to grow for our selfs and it is in a closet in the kitchen that is four feet deep seven tall and 13 long. the problem is it has double bi fold doors. i can't figure out how to lock it so my son can't get in to the plants. he is facintated by plants and at one point my husband dropped a leaf that he had just trimmed off a plant and my son ran as fast as he could to get it and tryed to eat it. we got it away but i don't want to go to the bathroom and come back to find my son eating my plants. it aint good for him or me cuz i just spent 1000 on the ultimate set up.

you could always just purchase a pre-hung door and a locking handle if you don't want to go the padlock route. I just removed two sliding closet doors and replaced them with a regular door with a keyed entry handle and it's made my life waaay easier. plus, you can't open the door without a key so that keeps him out...

sounds like you should go the extra step and install a little security system for that area of your home. -start with the wall mounted screen and computer : http://blog.glowview.com/2009/03/20/custom-self-contained-hanging-wall-pc/ [ very easy setup, because you will only be running one program and a simple webcam, you could always purchase an old laptop and run either a Linux or older Windows operating system] - Next you want to download and familiarize yourself with this program, or one similar: http://lifehacker.com/5404307/vitamin-d-turns-your-web-cam-into-a-security-camera [ excellent program that will allow you to see the trends or behaviors of your son the ones around him , which in turn should give you a better grip on how to prevent your son from entering your grow space]

I'd say that's a little over the edge wouldn't you say?
Not everyone is that tech savvy nor have the time to set up such a system, especially with an autistic 3 year old running around the house...
I would do what Harry suggested and just replace it with a real locking door. Cheap, Simple, Secure.

careful though, if it's not a legal grow then guns turn it from a misdemeanor into an instant federal felony.

Alabama is a tax stamp state.
Meaning if you get caught with guns and weed you get hit with the tax stamp also.
3 strikes and your out.
Growing weed with guns is like 100 years in prison.

That's why they have the tax stamp. It's a hidden fine.
If I was you guys I'd go read it.
The tax stamp combined with guns means double the fines. That's why is so crazy bad.

Yeah and then if you pick one up they arrest you on the spot Actually I know they cant do that. But they must think something is up.

I read a whole big article about tax stamps.
If you purchase them technically you can get the charges thrown out of court because something about the constitution.

If I cared I'd look for the article but bleh.
